Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

I was actually a bit worried when the box arrived, as UPS seemed to have done quite a number on it, but everything arrived intact as far as I can tell. The black-on-black was a wonderful option - I like having a chair with a sleek form factor, but the understated look of a more traditional office chair. The contours of the back of the chair and headrest support my frame quite well, and so long as it hold up well, I look forward to many happy nights gaming in my new E-Blue Cobra.
Thanks Massdrop and E-Blue!
